Which opens you up to being countered-sued right? It seems that this leaves Facebook to freely infringe on any patents of React users without consequence.
- Flenser 9y agoOnly if they have a patent on [edit: something in] React, or on anything else that you use (regardless of it's from Facebook) [edit2] Also, patent lawsuits are costly. If you're going to start one against Facebook the cost of switching away from React first would be negligible.
- efdee 9y agoNot without consequence. You as a company will have to determine which is more of a problem: Facebook using your patents, or you using Facebook's patents.
- halfteatree 9y agoAs I replied above, this takes you to the same place without a patent grant.
